About Maison Crayssac

Founded in 1900 in France, Maison F. Crayssac has more than 100 years of truffle production heritage from the leading truffle region in the world. The French region of Périgord is synonymous with truffles world wide. Today, Maison Crayssac brings the US an original line of truffle products from Europe. The finest black truffles come from France- particularly the southwestern region known as the Dordogne. Fresh Winter Black Truffles are often called "Black Diamonds" or "Diamonds of Périgord". They are simply exquisite and grow from December to March. French truffle markets feature delectable black truffles characterized by a subtle aroma and an earthy flavor reminiscent of a rich chocolate. They reach their pinnacle of fragrance and flavor in January and February.

Why are truffles so precious?

Truffle is known to be the highest priced food you can eat. The reason being that it is not possible to plant and farm them easily. In many regions of Europe and the US, people are trying to expand truffle production by creating truffle farms. This is very difficult to accomplish and the truffle quality and aroma of wild-grown truffle is far better. Truffles grow in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of suitable host trees. In this mutually beneficial relationship, the truffle supplies the plant with minerals from the soil, and in return the plant provides the fungus with its required nutrients. The truffle fungus grows around and partially into the first few layers of the host roots, eventually encapsulating them,

Cooking With Truffle:

Black truffles are best when cooked because the heating process releases the wonderful truffle flavor and aroma. Place thin slices of black truffle under the skin of uncooked poultry such as duck or pheasant. For the ultimate pairing, add sliced truffles to your foie gras preparation. Black truffles pair well with many other meats including beef and pork as well as game meats such as venison and boar. Black truffles are also wonderful in sauces made with hearty wine or brandy. Pasta and Risotto with truffles are also a specialty. Eggs with truffle is a famous yet easy dish to prepare. White truffles are mostly used shaved or grated raw over fresh pasta, risotto, meats and fish. White truffle should not be cooked in order to keep the intensity of their flavor.
